Hi all, I am needing some help with a salary negotiation. I am trying to relocate to Pittsburgh area. I have 3.5 years of experiences now and getting offered between 80k-85k for base salary for a senior accountant or reporting analyst position. Does this sound about right? I get paid more right now (maybe becasue I am in Oil and Gad industry) but want to see what the market average look like in Pittsburgh.

You need help with negotiations in what sense? As in, you asked for more money and they said no? If 80-85 is too low then walk away. My experience is you can get more money if you kill it in the interviews and have multiple offers. Tell each company they are your personal favorite but their offer is not competitive with your other offers. I did this and got about 20% more than I asked for/expected

For 3.5 years that seems like a good salary in Pittsburgh for a Senior. I would consider it or negotiate to 90k top

New associates in public probably make 55-60

Pittsburgh is definitely a low cost of living city. Left in 2018 as a senior with 3 years making 70k at a big 4

90k, but it was for a HCOL City

Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?
